and hard times where a waiting vietnam, again, the breaking news moscow accuses to have a false flag attack on the turn noble nuclear facility. only a day after presidents put an end of trump agreed to work toward ending of the ukraine complex. that having a meeting in munich pressure is going to be there with our people. ukraine is also invited by the way, donald trump claims to of organized try lateral talks on your trade in munich. but russia says it hasn't been invited to the security conference there. and european officials are on and just relations with washington sour over trump's commitment to ending the war that brussels is fueling the

from our headquarters in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching artsy international. we're covering the top new stories from around the world. while we started with breaking news. moscow says cabins attempting to frame russia for our ukrainian drones strike on it. turn no more. and this comes just a day after the russian and american presidents agreed to seek a peace deal on new frame. the international atomic energy agency confirmed a blast at the defunct nuclear site. overnight. the kremlin has called the attack a provocation. most of which teacher there is no way that any nuclear infrastructure could have been struck. so any claims that this was the case or not true, the russian military do not do this. we judging this is most likely just another provocation. another fudging this is exactly what the keywords seem sometimes does not shy away from doing it can speak now live to our to correspond to or long costs, forever money. what more can you tell us what the situation so far?

well, it seems that said, the key of regime is so desperate for any type of attention and view of the recent contact between most kind of washington that it's ready for absolutely anything even then you clear terror that could result in a major catastrophe. not only for russia, ukraine, and neighboring countries, but for the nations of the european union as well. and then the parents attempt to disrupt any peace negotiation zaleski seems to be going all in by attacking the cements for a call for the subject, your noble nuclear power plants. and of course, the so called officials of the key of regime were quick to blame. a rush shuffle that attack russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marines like harbor is certain that so that was a probate cation of valencia's behalf, who is looking for more money and more weapons, take us. and that's just something it's but there's no doubt that zelinski would

not have come to the munich conference, empty handed, the key of regimes. hans, not only are they covered in blood, they always have to be kept busy with a rattle, for example, they use them to distract the participants of international conferences. the munich security conference were members, many such rattles. so 21 years. and by the way, just a day before that attack on sure noble zaleski spoke to the media advertisement listing nuclear power plants and ukraine. so it's hard to describe his words is anything but fear mongering as he promised this. and that sold to the american soldiers against russia just taken listen to this. would you give us any bilateral talks about ukraine, the i'm not talking about other topics, any bilateral talks about ukraine without us. we will not accept it. as i said yesterday, when we talked with the minister and i told him that, you know, what are your american brigades, which are they nato troops, they are located in europe. and if there is the invasion,

it will be fast. so your military will fight. i told him that they have to save the lives of the people because there are around, i don't know. there are 100000 americans in europe. they're going to fight and not everyone will survive. meanwhile, the head of the international atomic energy agency raffle gross, you said that the incidence at your noble and so the recent increase administer activity around this upper russian nuclear power plants underline persistence, nuclear safe to risks. and that said, there is absolutely no room for complacency. assets on like an energy agency remains on very high alerts. now, the increase in the military activity that russell grossey was talking about probably refers to the fact that the i a e, a monitors who are stations. and as of her, all she needs power plants have been trying to rotate their teams since the very beginning of february. and the latest attempt resulted in the disruption of that rotation. has ukraine attack for the minutes and we can avoid carrying

international monitors. now, the destruction of that rotation of expert occurred to entirely due to the deliberate actions of the ukrainian side, according to the defense ministry of russia, who also added vets. moscow have fulfilled. absolutely. all i really get obligations to ensure security and establish a so called regime of military silence in the area of the rotation of the experts at the same time, the minutes. and so the key regime made yet another attempts to attack the nuclear power plants using drones. the one of them actually crashed just 300 meters away from the 1st power units of the nuclear power plants. and meanwhile, the international atomic energy experts have returned to the nuclear power plants, and they continue their monitoring mission arteries. remind castro, vermont. thank you. a 1st deputy chair of russia's federation council committee on

defense and security. vitamin cheese jobs says this publication shows how desperate ukraine is. i am afraid, samsung, the sold. do you do the mental state of, of the lead to of lee the now and that syria him should have been expected or have been expected? that least i believe that in reading story is like this. probably in this particular case, nobody was injured by the overall, it's a major pro occasion. wage is an additional element of escalates of deliberate. this delays not only situation that you agreed. so there is no other plausible explanation where they, on the russian, a senior diplomat tasked by the russian foreign ministry with documenting alleged ukrainian atrocities, is reporting a spike in key of drone attacks on russia. the following up is phone call with it's

from do you think this is even further escalation? this increased intensity of drone attacks? indeed, there have been numbers going up and down every 24 hours on the number of the drum and the next step in different regions. not only to the media regions within the zone of facilities, but also a more flooded way places and buildings, regions uh, quite far from you. great. uh and there have been some nice uh when there was a dozen uh, side drones or uh uh, in one case it was the number was over a 100. well, last night it was the widget. so this is again a, uh, a sign up for a station. oh,

the key frame being left out from the focus of the, the moscow denies having been invited to the munich security conference, which has just kicked off in germany. foreign ministry spokesman, maria's harv of pointed out that russia has essentially been blacklisted from the event since 2022. but i cease gear. russian officials are not invited to the munich security conference. this decision was made several years ago. it's a politicized decision. it's a strange decision. accordingly, there will be no representatives from the foreign affairs ministry, as well as other official russian structures and bodies. i can tell you that for sure, i'll repeat it again and remind you, since the start of the special military operation, russia has not received an invitation to this event. you are the russian spokeswoman was responding to the us presidents claim of

a plan to try it out of all discussion in munich. having a meeting in munich the tomorrow rush is going to be there with our people. ukraine is also invited, by the way, i'm not sure exactly who's going to be there from any country, but high level people from russia, from ukraine and from the united states. things to do seem to be quite serious. and that i have to say that the base at which these events are unfolding is just remarkable. just on wednesday the to president spoke. and it seems that now we're looking at higher level meetings, which are actively being prepared. and this has also been confirmed by the kremlin already the tungsten. they talked and agreed that even the most difficult problems should be solved through peaceful negotiations. in this case, president putin agreed with this thesis of president trump. pollutant has repeatedly said that we are ready to enter into such peaceful negotiations and achieve our goals. specifically through peaceful negotiations. this has been

confirmed through political and diplomatic means. and in fact, this is how the heads of state expressed their political will towards this process . this is a very important achievement of this conversation, which continued in the form of the instructions given by the presidents after their talks, which has already set in motion the machine of assistance departments, etc. cool, now gradually enter into a dialogue and prepare for further contacts. both at the working and at the highest level, it feels almost overwhelming that's being developed, but it's moving along so rapidly. and so many announcements coming from a trumpet as well. just to talk us through the key points coming from washington. donald trump made quite an important point. he says that he will not allow ukraine to become a member of nato. and he says that he understands that that is a red line for moscow. and he also says that if joe biden would have understood the

same thing, then the whole conflict could have been prevented. i don't see any way that a country in russia's cuz sion cut allows them just in their possession, could allow them to join their. i don't see that happening at long before president button. russia was very strong and the fact that i believe that's the reason the worst started. because by and went out and said that they could join nato. and he should have said that as soon as he said that i sent you know what, you're gonna have a war. and now, and i was right about that. this is a war that would have never happened to by wordpress vladimir food and also said before that he things, if donald trump for the one that election back in 2020, then most likely the conflict would've never started in the 1st place is oh, really? okay. very positive, isn't it? but heads a spinning? no, it shows do you know? i think so. yeah. people in europe as well, so it just won't global events. do we have to look forward to with the trump in the white house, which is now? it seems that trump has quite a lot of ideas and thoughts. i mean,

he's been making executive order since day one, focusing not only on domestic and regional issues, not even on ukraine, but it really seems that from it's thinking on a much wider scale happen when things straightened out, which i hope will be in the not too distant future, the meeting i want to have 1st is a meeting with china and a meeting with russia on slowing down, stopping and reducing nuclear weapons in particular. and also on not having to spend that kind of money, we're spending on weapons, military weapons, generally remarkable statements. and just imagine that for us or the united states and china would have agreed on something like that, that it would been just global. i mean, that would have had a massive effect on the entire world, perhaps comparable to the alto conference which laid the foundation for the current global security structure. the question is, would they have enough political will and perhaps most importantly, mutual trust to do so. it has been

a packed agenda for donald trump in washington, as he's also been hosting the indian prime minister for tax. around remote is wrapped up a 2 day visit to the states during their white house, sitting down the indian premier price to the us presidents, peace making efforts regarding the green conflict. i'm very happy that president trump has taken initiatives to restore peace and have good telephone calls with president boot and then president is a landscape the world have this thinking that india somehow is a neutral country and this whole process. but this is not true. india has a side and that side is a piece. from the very 1st day, i have been talking about the importance of dialogue and diplomacy, and a peaceful solution. and when i met with president clinton in the presence of media, i had told him that this is not the era of war. and i have firm conviction that problems can not be resolved on the battlefield. the 2 sides will have to come to the negotiating table or take correspond that range and sharma takes us through the

details of the talks between the heads of state. a meeting was extremely significant, given the fact that this was the 1st meeting of the 2, the dogs, a movie, as well as trump in a drum 2nd. tell them what. so let me point out here that the very fact the movie was one of the 1st few will leaders. in fact, he was the 4th will need to have been in washington in less than a month. so don't neutrons, least one is the 2nd done. all that i'm donald trump's invite that defines and sort of labels how far india has come on the global stage and just the importance of india holes and in terms of the conversations both. and he does have in different areas and in different sector as not to need all they've very much similar in the kind of right wing i do all the g b for all of the policy towards the end of this week. or the very fact that the 2

leaders wants to warn you green to end. but this meeting really also was about resetting the portion of the equation between a prime minister and a reasonable the. and a president donated from the different clothes all along. but of course, there have been some sticky point and so a when that engine will be landed in those snowy and slippery of washington as it was. and there was some wrinkles in that relationship, particular b, a with respect to the freed status as on the from has been a hockey one a, but also a bill, a migration in the do migration. so to see, and let me point out to you are the just before the by not sort of between driving us in the range of movie and president donald trump. donald trump, a non stop st. dallas the rest central code suite doris 4 countries with higher tires. he's also in fact in the boss for india terrace ink. i had discussions with

india and the 1st term about the fact that the tears were very high and i was unable to get it can session. so we're just going to do it easy way. and we're just gonna say whatever your charge we charge. and i think that's fair for the people in the united states, and i think it's actually fair for india. talk about status. it happened. it was yes, a minute. it didn't in the relationship during the talks, but of course there was no aggressive force shooting which is any down there by the us administration. in fact, both the other countries also decided to drop the double that fried by 2030 for now us remains india. stop treating foss know the have well, a don't know, don't know what is around a $120000000000.00. so that's the want to double buy a 2050 and $5.00. donald trump is also offered to india. the both cheese of f. $3055.00, that's number one, but also waiting. and remember that's interesting because india has been golfing

off on a lot of discount food from russia. so that makes things interesting. but also let me for a 2nd. i talk about in the migration recently that was a us clean that brought back up some over a 100 indians to new delhi. this is something that the indian government has not very aggressively to tested. but of course, this was something that was one of the other irritants. when the 2 leaders met the happened part of the any verified indian who is in the us illegally. we are fully prepared to take back to india. however, it doesn't stop there. these are children from very ordinary families, and they are lowered by the big dreams and the big promises. a lot of them are brought in without them knowing why they are going to a country. and in fact, they are connected with a human trafficking system. and we have to make sure that we fight against the system. there is a thought to do still so meeting 1000 in the who immigrants from india, and that has been made by the us and the see a that'd be want to act on that india. we'll see that no big deal and it's an

annual dean that every year or there are illegal immigrants that i sent back to the country. having said that it's, it's interesting because donald trump, his um, his full force shooting in the 2nd done. it's been more about america foster and that's about engaging with the we internationally. so to see, and in that sense, again, the to the doors, the it'd be have similar. i do all it to you. so oh, for the movie as well. it's in the 1st ideology, similar to donald trump, to medical 1st ideology. so school is there was a list of things that the 2 leaders spoke about, including your brain where the prime minister went on to see that india was on the side of these. we know of the driving and stuff i was already focused on the need of dialogue and diplomacy. and this is what we also see the strong do in his 2nd drum. he's in fact all spoken to present with and he's,

he's also very clearly said yesterday before the by lecture with dominance. and the reason movie that he does want to reignite relationship with both russia as well as china. the, well as world officials gather in munich, the tables have been turned on. european nato members who have been shocked by the us. presidents push to end the brain pump light, which many officials want to keep going. are things we're gonna cost right? but has the story, it's the most important form for secure. it's a policy in the world, a conference where a no actual decisions are made, but plans and intentions are definitely laid out. it's been well established that it's a good barometer for trans atlantic relations which appear to be on shaky grounds as of late, especially after donald trump was re elected and started demanding more of his european allies. you know, we have over $300.00. they don't take our cars,

they don't take off off broadway. they take almost nothing. and we take everything from the cars, tremendous amounts of product but really advise you ross. while you're asking me a question, chris, i'm sure you didn't. here. am i going to impose stairs on the european union? do you want the trustful answer or should i give you a political answer? absolutely. the your opinion industry is so terribly. i told the european union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the united states by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas. otherwise, it is tariffs all the way to trump will not be attending the event. it's think it

was vice president and secretary of state who will have to face the music of potentially explain why they're put in america 1st. all of a sudden when for decades, u. s. foreign policy seem to out way, domestic issues. it's easy to see why european leaders are upsets. trump are made a clear that he wants his fellow laid on members. so increase their defense spending targets. the us has always covered, most of the alliance is costs, but now it's changing it soon. if you don't pay, we're not going to protect you from said the problem is, is europe's economy. it's not doing that. the rates on top of that. they're also facing a trade war with their main ally. as the old trend is expected to increase terrace on all steel and aluminum imports into the united states, which doesn't exclude his bodies, the europe administers are electrically shaking in their boots. call it,

it's an escalating phrase war trying to do every thing they kansas stop that from happening. the job of the i'm gonna comes of, i have already mentioned the american tariffs that are threatening us, possibly on steel and aluminum. if the us leaves us no other choice than the european union will react in a united manner as the largest market in the world with 450000000 citizens, we have the power to do so. the will cease no justification for the imposition of studies on our exports, which is economically conser products. especially given the deeply integrated production change. this probably set through our extensive transatlantic site and investment times we stand against on justified barriers to free and fair trade. we remain fully committed to a level playing field. we will always take the necessary steps to protect our economic interest of as well as european businesses workers and consumers from

unjustified tariff measures that shut off. there's also that little issue over greenland because only the territory is apparently 5. so for us national security, well obviously that didn't go down well with denmark or the rest of europe for that matter. but there is also another issue, a much bigger issue. your opinions are soft and appalled, has therapy in sidelines and pretty much ignored when it comes to resolving the conflict in ukraine present. donald trump says he is looking forward to negotiating with russian president vladimir putin to end the war and ukraine. potential breakthrough in the war and ukraine after calls with russian president putin and ukrainian presidents, a landscape present, and trump now saying peace negotiations will start immediately. create that for moscow. what about ukraine? after 9 and then a phone call between president trump and russian president vladimir putin. those 2 leaders agreed to meet and begin negotiations immediately to end the war and

ukraine, but apparently, without ukraine's participation in this or as a question, i think they have to make peace that people have been killed and i think they have to make peace. i showed that was not a good way to go into, and i think they have to make peace. that's what i take while the russian and us leaders appear committed an owner, a way to put an end to the conflict in ukraine. there is your pin town supplies are upset, the word consults, a foreign ministers even held a meeting in paris. so highlight that their opinion matters and should be taken into account. there will be no just and lasting peace in ukraine without the europeans in paris. i'm following codger colors. jose manuel out virus brought us loud. sikorsky, angelina barrow, bach, david lemmy andrews qu bilious maria tree party. and andre cba tonight to talk

about european security and our support for ukraine. there will be no just and lasting peace in ukraine without the participation of europeans. peace can only be achieved in the long term if we act together as a nato partner with our american friends. ukraine's independence and territorial integrity. unconditional priority must now be strengthening ukraine and providing robust security guarantees. in any negotiation, europe must have a central role. so what if they had 2 years to figure it out, bought to have been unable to let the blood should continue? those weren't their words. of course, but those are the rep precautions and they know it, we are ready to enhance our support for ukraine, which means that they are ready to send more money and more weapons. so what if they don't have enough for an 80 or their own countries? but as long as they have enough for you pray and our share,

the objectives should be supposed to crane in the position of strength. that's impossible. and they know it's ukraine is losing the war and there's no reversing that. this declaration is a sub testament of bad persetti and leadership. while president donald trump and president putin negotiate on peace. you officials, issue worthless statements. you come to request a seat at the negotiating table, you have to run it through strength, good leadership and smart diplomacy. the position of brussels to support killing as long as it takes is morally and politically unacceptable. europe has squandered its central role by damaging its economy through rejecting cheap rushing energy supplies and limiting its political cloud to mirroring what us is doing. now your role is to stand in the corner and watch. but do you have continues grasping at straws, trying to make a potential piece meal looked like a that's one with their media using the same rhetoric and the same language as

always the well, that's your language. not mine, certainly not a betrayal. but as i said to our allies yesterday, we recognize the incredible commitment that has been made over many years. and no country as a president, trump has pointed out, has made a larger commitment to the ukrainian mission than the united states of america. north of $300000000000.00. so the united states has invested in stabilizing those front lines. after the aggression of russia, there is no betrayal there. there is a recognition that the whole world in the united states is invested in interested in peace and negotiated peace, ridiculous questions like raised or the reason he decided to skip the munich security conference,

even though he is in the europe this week. but there are enough high level officials from the us going who will no doubt have a lot of questions to answer. the problem is, history has shown that all these world leaders don't really pay a lot of attention to what is being said at this conference. bladder, where it puts in the use the very same platform for years, warning the west not to expand nato eastward from as early as 2007 and what became known as his munich speech. it's, it's not as good as shooting it. nato expansion does not have any relation with the modernization of the alliance itself or with ensuring security in europe. on the contrary, it represents a serious provocation that reduces the level of mutual trust. and we have the right to ask against whom is this expansion intended. and what happened to the assurances our western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact. where are those

declarations today? no one even remembers them. but i will allow myself to remind the, sorry, and what was said. i would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary, mister werner in brussels on 17th may 1990. he said at the time that the fact that we are ready not to place a needle army outside of german territory gives the soviet union a firm security guarantee. where are these guarantees? it was very clear about the interest and repercussions of such a move. but does anyone listen? no. in fact, right before the special military operation began, lensky use the conference. so deliver the final blow your present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convince somebody to budapest memorandums taking a treat countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, good idea of what we're going to attend. the closest signed in 1994 is no invoice.

well, when they did, it was a lot of skill was clueless, the was certainly was as after so many years of warnings and requests not to escalate tensions along the russian border. but they did unless it. and now when was seemingly approaching the end of the slide, this europe has a problem with. all right, we're going to take you now to the russian president who has hosted a session of the russian security council for the 1st time since his phone call with the us president. donald trump. let's take a lesson. but would you ever sees that are arise during the spring and summer seasons that those commit to meet you? floods and fires sadly, inevitable, but we can work to minimize the damage to our citizens and to the economy. so we must prepare in advance for duct let you know, so let us discuss this to change to person. we have a minister over by you imagine, sees mr. corn, coal reporting please. all right russians.
